Does anyone have advice on the best way to haul a side by side behind a 5th wheel? I was thinking of trailer with a set of crazy wheel on the rear and have the trailer balled up to a hitch behind the 5er

Treemover, in answer to your triple-tow question, we need considerably more info. Brenda and I do triple-tow our Harley and sidecar rig. It isn't for everybody. I might add, it isn't for every state. We need to know your TV, your RV, what engine your TV has, etc. This triple-towing puts an entirely different slant on towing. It certainly can be done safely, but everything depends on your equipment. Let us hear from you.

In Texas you are required to have an endorsement, that most people don't know about or have, to tow doubles or triples.

We start with GMC 2500 HD Duramax/Allison pulling a 40’ Montana 5er. I would have to weld/bolt a substantial hitch. Behind that would hopefully be an 1800 lb Honda 1000 -5 side by side
I was thinking of an aluminum pull trailer but wanted to look at other options. The ATV is 10’ long

This article will give you a reasonable amount info, or at least get you started in where you can and can't tow triple. It also references some other articles with even better information. In your case you will need a significant hitch, making sure whoever does the fabrication knows their in's and out's of the RV frame. We tow about 2K including the weight of the trailer, but that is using a factory installed hitch. Keep us upon what actions you take.
